So i thought it would be cool if people posted up their pics of what their car looked like when they first bought it, and now, sorta like an accomplishment type deal. I searched around and saw nothing like this so lets see em guys!

When I got her:

Latest picture on my computer (I have some later ones but not on this computer):

Forgive the clutter, one of my relatives had just finished a project for school and when I asked him to clean up he just shoved everything under my car.

and celicaGT, that looks so much better than before! get some stock gt-s rims on there, and those clear corners (once i get down to the post office *D'OH*) and it will look brand new!

^WOW

That GTS looks nice!

Somewhere I have before and after pictures. Only one side of my old GT looked nice because I got into an accident with it and never really repaired it.

thanks for the compliments, one of the biggest things that needs to be done is straiten up the front bumper and it'll look a lot better. The roof is dented in a bit in the front, my uncle suspects hail damage but I'm not real worried about it currently. i think the bumper lights will fit in better with the fog lights and head lights. I am thinking about tinting out the side markers. I also have autopals for it but one came broken and waiting for the replacement to come in

very nice berg! it looks like you got your hands full!

Thanks for the compliment, and yes I do! The car needed (and still needs) a lot of work. I am pleased to say that last weekend I finished all the major metal work on the body. I can only hope that when I'm done it will look as good as the job you did on yours. :bigthumbu

Cheers,
Berg

I can at least show the after of my car. The only major difference is I had stock alloys on it which I use for a coffee table now. Luckily I picked the car up from the second owner of it after only 2 weeks of her owning it. Good thing to she wrecked her new car a month after getting it.

Chaos was a stock ST when I bought her.

I put some wheels, some graphics and a wing on her:

Then I took it all off and smacked her into a guard rail:

well this not my celica but thats how it looked when i first bought it, i also did have gts rims, and mine had a blown motor when i bought it.

Nothing done to the exterior(not yet) except some Yokohama Avid H4S and some Dropzone springs, plan on a coilover setup and some 17" Volk TE-37's in bronze. The engine bay and interior is where it all happened.

Great job guys! Showcaseceli, i want to make love to your car...mmm What CF (Brand) hood is that? I'm diggin the 20v too, clean ST. Keep um up guys! And Geebe is a lair, i still dont see pictures of his black celica! :hehe:
